Prof. Stefan Kozak’s Interpretation of the Works of Lesya Ukrainka

Summary/Abstract: Lesya Ukrainka is one of the most outstanding figures of the Modern-Time Ukrainian literature. Her literary output was a catalyst – and often a leading factor – of changes taking place in the Ukrainian literary development process at the turn of the 20th century. Almost a hundred years after her death, the author is still alive in the awareness of her natives, and her literary legacy is a continuous inspiration for numerous researchers in Ukraine and abroad, including Polish ones. Among the latter is Professor Stefan Kozak, who devoted seven papers to her works. This paper offers a survey of the works of this Polish researcher of Ukrainian literature. His research brings a very intriguing image of Lesya Ukrainka as an outstanding creative mind, who evolved from her initial ethnic poetics towards autonomy and original Romantic conceptions with a degree of modernist tendencies.
